Roach had fantastic color payoff, and it applied very smoothly and evenly. I felt like I hardly needed to pass the brush across the pan to get the full color coverage I expected from the shade. The texture was so soft and buttery, but it was a smidgen powdery–like the tiniest bit but still felt it was worth mentioning. I didn’t see any fall out during application or later on during wear, though. The color was easy to blend out and mix with other eyeshadows. It lasted eight hours quite well, and after nine, there was a hint of fading.
